Many in the industry have remained loyal to Robinov and are rooting for his triumphant return as a producer. As origin stories go, Robinov's might be the most unconventional and circuitous in terms of Hollywood executives. He was born in New York City, his father a-esque advertising executive who worked on the iconic Noxzema shaving-the-peach campaign. But the elder Robinov was passed over for a promotion. Disillusioned, he headed to Maine to sell aluminum siding when Robinov was just 3 months old.," says Robinov, referencing the 1987 Barry Levinson film about rival aluminum-siding salesmen.
He was 30 years old, had no family or friends in the area, just a packed car and some accounting and woodworking skills. He registered as a temp and landed accounting jobs but knew little about the accounting rules in California and wasn't a licensed CPA. So he started his own talent agency, the official-sounding Robinov Co. He then rented a 200-square-foot office on the northeast corner of Charleville and Beverly Drive, where he also lived.
Warners production president Courtenay Valenti, who worked with Robinov for more than a decade at the studio, remembers his dealmaking skills when he was on the other side of the table.
Same guy who slammed making movies about women at WB? No thanks.
Dayumm, that dude is like the romantic interest for a beautiful middle aged woman who has given up on love. Successful, hawt 60 something, single Dad, no ex to have to deal with. He's a Hallmark Channel movie! hallmarkchannel
God forbid he relinquishes his title so that a qualified Black, POC, LGBTQIA+ or even a white female could have a shot at diversifying WB content...hooray for your “triumph”sir, dunno how you overcame your struggles with your guild and savings account as fall backs. Slow clap.
